He's risking it all on a bet
on back-stabbing, two-faced brunette
And spinning the wheel
could mean his last meal

Kathie Moffat (Jane Greer ) and Jeff Bailey (Robert Mitchum) let it ride at the roulette table: Out of the Past (Jacques Tourneur, 1947). Jeff: That's not the way to win. Kathie: Is there a way to win? Jeff: There's a way to lose more slowly. Image source: Hollywood Pictures and antiquegamblingchips.com.

ReplyDeleteTo survive it I better think fast
This may be goodbye
But I don't want to die
If I do, then I'm gonna die last.
